No wonder liberals think conservatives are simple-minded.Here we are, still going by the book in
Civics 101, while they’re busily rewriting the rules to grant themselves far
greater powers than are assigned to them by law.In a variation of Huey Long’s Depression-era
jingle, they’re dancing to the tune, “Every Liberal a King.”

If
liberals lack the votes to stop a bill from passing, they may recruit activists
to occupy the legislative chamber and disrupt the hearings.If that approach fails, then their
legislators can flee to a hideout in a neighboring state, so that there is no
longer a quorum present.Whenever their
opponents use a legitimate procedural maneuver to block a vote, liberals
protest as if they were victims of a crime against humanity, but they’re
allowed to dismantle the very structure of the legislative process, and
consider it just a good, clean game of political hardball.

Once a bill is passed into law, liberals can challenge it,
in hopes of putting its fate in the hands of likeminded judicial
activists.Their chances of
accomplishing this are significant, because the court system is saturated with
liberal judges who rule according to their feelings, without regard for the
actual meaning of the written law.In
the event that a piece of conservative legislation should survive this
gauntlet, the liberals have yet another tactic at their disposal: just don’t
enforce it.

The ACLU is challenging a Pennsylvania statute prohibiting
same-sex marriage, and state Attorney General Kathleen Kane is refusing to
defend it, based on her delusion that the Constitution guarantees “marriage
equality.”During a thoroughly self-serving
pronouncement on the issue, Kane said, “Today we represent everyone who does
not have representation.”Sounds noble,
but what about representing the Pennsylvanians who do have representation, in
the form of elected officials like herself?

Pennsylvania law says, “It shall be the duty of the Attorney
General to uphold and defend the constitutionality of all statutes so as to
prevent their suspension or abrogation in the absence of a controlling decision
by the court of competent jurisdiction.”Kane points out that she may refer a case to the governor’s Office of
General Counsel “upon determining that it is more efficient or otherwise is in
the best interest of the Commonwealth,” but this isn’t what she did.Instead, she publicly condemned the statute
prior to washing her hands of it.That’s
not an efficient manner of defending it, nor is it in Pennsylvania’s best
interest.

Kane might argue that it’s basically a moot point, because
Republican Governor Tom Corbett will have his OGC defend the law anyway, but
what if the governor and the AG were both liberal Democrats like Kane?Unfortunately, we already know the answer.

In California, Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala
Harris refused to defend Proposition 8, the same-sex marriage ban that was
enacted through that state’s referendum process.In 2010, a district court judge threw out the
law, for typically gobbledy reasons.The group that had promoted the initiative
appealed, only to be told by the Supreme Court that they had no standing.Only “agents of the state” were permitted to
stand up for Prop 8, and none were willing to do so.

Liberals at the state level are only following the lead of
President Obama, who openly declared in 2011 that he would not enforce the
Defense of Marriage Act that President Clinton had signed 15 years earlier.In doing so, he essentially gave himself veto
power over an already enacted law, without any chance for the opposition to
override his decision.

Only a liberal can get away with this kind of a power
grab.It’s hard to picture anyone else
even trying.Just imagine it’s the year
2017, and President Ted Nugent has just announced that, because the Brady Act
violates the Second Amendment, he has instructed his Justice Department not to
enforce it.Impeachment proceedings
would commence before he could say, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

In truth, it would never come to that, because the Nuge isn’t that crazy.Yet when a liberal executive exhibits this kind of behavior, it’s just
business as usual.Every level of our
government has been infested with little liberal tyrants, who consider the law
to be optional.Not only have they no
compunction about perverting the lawmaking process, but they actually give
speeches and issue press releases to brag about their having done it.Some, like Kathleen Kane, will even
congratulate themselves on refusing to serve their constituents as the law requires.
